“Alcohol has always been spiritual, and when you become connected to the spirituality of those beverages and understand their history, what you drink becomes more meaningful and sacred.” Bestselling author, blogger and magical mixologist Julia Halina Hadas joins the show to discuss magical mixology and lunar libations.
Julia is a longtime practicing witch, energy worker, and avid craft cocktail fanatic and bartender. Having worked at a distillery and as a craft cocktail bartender in the San Francisco Bay Area, she combined her love of the craft cocktail movement with her spiritual practice.
In this episode, Julia explains how her dream of becoming a fantasy author led her to creative writing, magic and witchcraft. She describes her experience working at a metaphysical shop, the people she met and the knowledge she learned, as well as her career as a bartender. She talks about using her bartending skills to create potion-like cocktails, which she shares on a blog. Julia explains how she landed a book deal, giving tips to aspiring writers on navigating the publishing industry and becoming an author. Julia discusses her second book, “Moon, Magic, Mixology,” explaining the connection between alcohol, the moon and spirituality before giving us a brief history of lunar libations and mixology. We discuss the importance of research and honoring the origins of our practices and beliefs. Julia talks about the ritualistic act of drink creation, from squeezing and muddling to shaking and stirring, as well as the symbolism of mixology tools and glassware. We discuss the perfect magical cocktail from “Moon, Magic, Mixology” that correlates with the upcoming New Moon in Gemini (June 6), as well as the tens of dozens of cocktail recipes featured in the book that pair well with other moon phases.

“When most people think of grief they think of coping with a loss like death. But grieving happens when you’re dealing with any loss– the loss of a friendship, a job, a chapter in your life, or, in this case, the loss felt after a breakup.” I’m opening up about healing from heartache following a breakup.
After my two-year relationship ended in 2022, I was heartbroken. Not only was I grieving the loss of that relationship and the future I’d imagined, but I was also faced with the reality that I was newly single at 30 while most of my friends were married or in long-term relationships. In this episode, I speak vulnerably about how I coped with the five stages of grief, the steps I took to find myself again and the lessons I learned from that relationship– all of which helped me find healing, hope and happiness.

“Style is not one size fits all, and it’s so worth the journey to figure out your body type and your color palette [to find yours.]” Content creator and podcast host Eden Garcia Thaler joins the show to discuss using Kibbe body types and color analysis to hone your style.
Eden is a content creator and the host of “Field Notes From the Spiritual Journey” where she explores shadow work, healing, and navigating the spiritual journey as a highly sensitive being. Eden holds a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Human Spirituality & Well-being and studied spiritual tantra at The Shakti School, including the methodologies of meditation and visualization, techniques for regulating the nervous system, emotional processing and manifestation.
In this episode, Eden shares her own style journey, revealing that she’s had an interest in fashion since she was a young girl thrift shopping with her mom. She explains that you don’t need to be a supermodel or fashionista to wear clothes that compliment your body type and skin tone. Eden talks about ways to figure out your intuitive style before introducing the Kibbe Body Types, which are “image identity” types based on the proportions of someone’s bone structure, body flesh and facial features. She then details the five families of the Kibbe Body Types on the Yin-Yang spectrum (Romantic, Gamine, Classic, Natural and Dramatic), explaining how those components manifest to form your unique body type and the clothing styles that look best on each one. We talk about the recent popularity of color analysis and Eden reveals why you shouldn’t rely on online quizzes for an accurate analysis. Then we hear Eden’s opinion on fashion trends, signs you should pass on them and cost-conscious ways to participate in them. Then she reveals the best places to shop sustainably on your style journey.

“Using the domination and submission archetypes of BDSM outside of sexuality have been so healing for me. Stepping into my archetype of a dominatrix– it’s a woman who can speak her desires. When I’m submissive, I’m learning to surrender.” Karina Gutierrez, owner of mental health and holistic healing company Strategic Soul, joins the show to discuss sexual liberation and healing through BDSM.
Karina is an expert in both Western psychology and Eastern healing practices and holds two master's degrees from the University of Pennsylvania in professional counseling and counseling mental health services. She’s also a certified Kripalu yoga instructor, certified Strategic Intervention life coach and a certified Usui and Holy Fire® Reiki Master.
In this episode, Karina talks about working with a Tantric Coach and Pro Dom in order to let go of sexual shame and repression and experience sexual healing and liberation. She discusses how our sexual partners can serve as a reflection of our own sexuality, showing us the parts of ourselves that need to be healed and integrated. We talk about using sexuality to fuel your creativity and honor your eros. Karina discusses sexual repression, where it stems from and how it physically and emotionally manifests. She then explains what BDSM is– and isn’t– and the dynamics of domination and submission both in the bedroom and out in the real world. We talk about integrating dom/sub aspects into your life and how to find a healthy balance within yourself. Karina explains how to open and clear the chakras through sacred sexuality and, more specifically, the sacral chakra’s energetic tie to our sexual partners. We discuss our experiences with conscious celibacy. Karina talks about ‘kink’ and how to start exploring yours.
TRIGGER WARNING: This podcast episode explores aspects of sexual healing and liberation through kink and BDSM and contains references of trauma related to sexual abuse at timestamps 18:24 and 43:35. Please listen with care or fast-forward.

“Our energy is our life force. It’s the reason we get up every day and do the things we do. So it’s really important that we protect our energy. Protect your energy, protect your peace.” Raven shares three reasons your energy is depleted and how to replenish it.
In this episode, Raven discusses what to do when you’re feeling energetically drained and how to spot– and stop– the source. She uses ‘Reflectors’ in Human Design as an example to demonstrate the importance of protecting your energy centers before sharing the three reasons our energy can be depleted. Raven talks about ways we’re blocking the flow of energy and how to clear those blocks (AKA limiting beliefs). She explains the difference between energy leaks and drains and how to find and repair them. Raven also shares ways to replenish your energy once it’s been depleted and reminds us that we have the power to prevent it from escaping us in the first place.

“You have to let your life fall apart sometimes, and it’s extremely humbling and brings a lot of humility to the ego. And in that space, things can start to flow.” Content creator and podcast host Eden Garcia Thaler joins the show to discuss the process of surrender, ego death and rebirth.
Eden is a content creator and the host of “Field Notes From the Spiritual Journey” where she explores shadow work, healing, and navigating the spiritual journey as a highly sensitive being. Eden holds a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Human Spirituality & Well-being and studied spiritual tantra at The Shakti School, including the methodologies of meditation and visualization, techniques for regulating the nervous system, emotional processing and manifestation.
In this episode, Eden discusses the tough decision to close her spiritual coaching business and go back into the workforce. She talks about the creative evolution she’s experienced on her personal transformation journey, and she shares what to do if you’re met with resistance or feel stuck despite taking aligned action. We talk about “unsubscribing” from the outcome, which requires both dissolution and surrendering to the process. We discuss the difference between ‘giving up’ and ‘surrendering,’ the metaphorical ‘eclipse’ we experience once we surrender and the grief that comes with it. Eden introduces Carl Jung’s philosophy of holding the tension of the opposites so that you become comfortable in the in-between, and she explains why you don’t need clarity to move forward. We discuss the ego, how it can distort people’s perception of you and how to cope when you’re experiencing an “ego death.” We talk about the subtle energetic shift that occurs when you start making decisions from your authentic self instead of from your ego. Eden shares the importance of feeling safe and supported in order to thrive creatively and explains why you sometimes have to take a detour in order to reach the destination on the path toward your dreams.

“Eighty percent of our immune system is in our gut. Your gut is the key to your optimal health and your brain health. When you heal your gut, you heal you.” Holistic nutritionist, mindset coach and author Janna Johnson joins the show to discuss how our gut affects our well-being and the best foods to support it.
Janna Johnson is a holistic nutritionist, mindset coach and narcissists expert. She overcame the impossible when she healed herself from chronic Lyme disease, hypothyroidism, and major gut issues. She teaches others how to feel their best and live their best life by healing their gut and mind. Her motto is, “Heal your gut and then you heal your brain and overall health. Heal your mind, free your life.” Janna is also a motivational speaker, top podcast host of Revive with Janna, and most recently No. 1 best-selling author in humanistic psychology and the No. 1 new release in women’s health. Her revival, Unf*ck Your Mind: Shatter Your Limiting Beliefs to Become Who You Were Meant to Be, details the come-up story of a victim turned victor whose limiting beliefs held her back.
In this episode, Janna shares her inspiring story of overcoming Lyme disease– the catalyst to her career as a holistic nutritionist. She credits whole foods and functional medicine as the cure for her Lyme disease, thyroid problems and gut issues, as well as shifting her mindset. Janna reminds us how eliminating our limiting beliefs can set us up for success. We discuss the importance of “finding your why,” trusting your gut and being your own wellness advocate. Janna teaches us what makes up the gut and why sugar “feeds all diseases.” She points out popular gut irritants, offers healthier alternatives, and encourages us to be proactive instead of reactive when it comes to our health. Janna also discusses why Big Pharma doesn’t promote functional medicine and how Big Food is contributing to disease. She tells us which foods we should incorporate into our diet to support our gut health and manage our blood sugar. Janna explains the symptoms of a “leaky gut,” how it affects our health and how to prevent it. She also emphasizes the importance of spending a little more money on healthy, whole foods now instead of a lot more money on medical issues in the future.

“Ignore the bulls**t that’s happening in your current reality, and focus on what it is you want– your desired reality. It’s going to take discipline, commitment and f**king delusion.” Raven explains how to brainwash yourself in order to manifest your desired reality.
In this episode, Raven talks about the importance of auditing your thoughts since they inform our beliefs and influence the actions that create our reality. She then takes us through the six steps to brainwash yourself, starting with making the empowered decision to do so. Raven explains that our perception creates our reality and that we have the power to change our perception of reality itself. She talks about the importance of reinforcing the new neural pathways we’re creating by setting reminders, repeating affirmations and staying disciplined. Raven shares how to raise your vibrational frequency by going on an “energetic diet,” the differences between high and low vibrational frequencies, and how tuning into your emotions can clue you in on your vibrational frequency. Raven explains how censoring negativity, seeking positivity and cultivating a gratitude attitude can help keep your energetic channels clear. She tells us why it’s crucial to ignore your current reality in order to effectively manifest your desired one and why it requires “living in delusion.” Raven shares the habits she’s incorporated in her daily routine in order to reinforce the brainwashing process.

“Entities need a feeding source. Like attracts like in a vibrational reality, which is what we live in. Entities exist at a specific energetic frequency, so they look for a host that is carrying that specific energetic frequency.” Spiritual teacher and Akashic Records expert practitioner Emily Logan Lewis, aka Emily The Mystic, joins the show to discuss clearing malevolent entities, negative energies and closing portals.
Emily Logan Lewis, aka Emily The Mystic, is an intuitive mentor, an Akashic Records expert practitioner and teacher, an intuition development coach, and a galactic channel. She’s on a mission to soften shadow work and help “old souls” heal, as well as reclaim their intuitive gifts, manifest their dreams, and experience the most joyful life while doing it. Emily is an expert in mediumship, past life regressions, meditation, the Akashic Records, hypnotherapy techniques, quantum healing, and other spiritual practices.
In this episode, Emily teaches us about entities, how they attach to people and places and the common signs and symptoms of an entity attachment. She discusses the different classifications of entities, which can vary in terms of malevolence, and why some entities attach to people while others attach to buildings or homes. We discuss how entities are portrayed in pop culture and movies like “Insidious” and “Poltergeist.” Emily shares how entities find a “feeding source” and how you can reduce your risk of an entity attachment. She also explains what happens during an entity clearing session, ways to effectively expel an entity from your auric field and the importance of practicing good energetic hygiene. We briefly discuss sleep paralysis, ouija boards and portals; Emily teaches us how to clear negative energies in our home spaces and shares the incense she recommends for energy clearing (in addition to sage and palo santo) as well as common household ingredients that can be used as energy clearing agents. Emily also discusses the importance of finding and closing portals in your home, getting rid of items that are charred with negative energy and decluttering your space.

“It is 100% worth it to go out of your comfort zone and do something that scares you and see how it goes. And if it doesn’t go well, you can quit.

“There are so many rules and masculine structures that are still rampant in the health and wellness and spiritual spaces. And I’m here to break all those rules. I’m here to disrupt all the nonsense and rigidity to [remind people] we are meant and designed to experience pleasure.” Intuitive holistic healer and founder of the spiritual confectionary company MASAH, Emily Pogany, joins the show to discuss her innovations in the wellness and spirituality spaces with these delicious chakra caramels.
As a trauma-informed holistic healer, spiritual teacher and wellness guide, Emily specializes in a variety of energetic, emotional and somatic modalities to support her clients and community. Her practice intends to normalize the conversations and work surrounding healing, personal and spiritual development and empowerment, and to teach others how to love, accept and heal themselves. As the founder of MASAH, Emily has now come to be known as “The Willy Wonka of Spirituality” through her unique brand vision, invoking the energies of play, innovation and imagination in the health and wellness industry.
In this episode, Emily shares how she embraced her dharma to create chakra caramels and lead a soul-driven company, talking us through the 8 years long spiritual and entrepreneurial journey that led to founding MASAH and how she navigated it without a roadmap. We discuss why it’s crucial to act on your divine ideas and how to stand out in a saturated market. We talk about the importance of healing your visibility wounds in order to magnetize people that most align with your vision and why you should keep going especially when you want to give up. Emily shares her process in carefully choosing the caramel flavors that balance each of the seven chakras and gives us a glimpse at the next four flavors. We also talk about intuitive eating and pleasure-seeking with all five senses.

“Trust yourself. Believe in yourself. Don’t let your doubt creep in. Trust in your talent, skills and ability and let them guide you.” Radio personality, podcast producer and singer Emily Sklar returns to the show to talk about the hidden cost of chasing your dream.
After 11 years hosting shows on top radio stations like Detroit’s Channel 955 and Washington D.C.’s HOT 99.5, Emily stepped away from the industry full-time in the summer of 2022 to explore her other passions and interests (listen to the “Bet on Yourself with Emily Sklar” episode to hear what led to her decision). With a microphone and a dream, Emily moved from D.C. to L.A. at the beginning of 2023. Since the move, Emily has achieved some of her biggest dreams: appearing on the nationally syndicated “On-Air with Ryan Seacrest,” working at 102.7 KIIS-FM and with the iHeartRadio podcast team, and performing live in venues around the LA-area.
In the second part of this two-part episode (listen to the first part if you missed it), we discuss the dichotomy of living in the present while looking forward to the future and the importance of spending your life how you want instead of how you think you should. We share our experiences relying on tenacity and true grit to get us through tough times and surviving the ego death that comes with starting over. We talk about how our future plans have changed now that we’ve achieved a life-long dream and why it’s beneficial to keep your options open instead of hyper-focusing on one goal.

“I’ve always been the person that people go to [for an ear to listen]. People just tell me things. I think people can sense that they can share with me, and I will just listen.” Graphic designer and Pisces sun Tina Range joins the show to discuss all-things The Fish in The Sign Series, a limited Astrocandy subseries that features each zodiac sign during its respective season.
It’s time to dream big ‘cause it’s Pisces season! Pisces (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) is ruled by Neptune, the planet of inspiration, dreams and fantasy, and Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, prosperity and expansion, so it’s no wonder these water signs are swimming in their own internal world; a mystical sea of imagination and emotion. You spent Aquarius season hanging out with your friends and looking forward to the future, and now it’s time to turn inward to discover what lights you up. You’ll hear from Tina who’s mastered the art of spending time alone doing things she loves like cooking a decadent meal or watching a binge-worthy TV show.
In this episode, we discuss Pisces’ personality traits, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes and how they show up in friendships and relationships. You’ll also learn how you can tap into Pisces energy to make the most of this imaginative season.

“I’ve always been someone who can’t let go of those [childhood] dreams. I want to make that inner child in me happy at all costs. So I had this deep-rooted dream to come to LA… But all of that logic comes in, and I’m like ‘is this realistic?’” Radio personality, podcast producer and singer Emily Sklar joins the show to talk about the hidden cost of chasing your dream.
After 11 years hosting shows on top radio stations like Detroit’s Channel 955 and Washington D.C.’s HOT 99.5, Emily stepped away from the industry full-time in the summer of 2022 to explore her other passions and interests (listen to the “Bet on Yourself with Emily Sklar” episode to hear what led to her decision). With a microphone and a dream, Emily moved from D.C. to L.A. at the beginning of 2023. Since the move, Emily has achieved some of her biggest dreams: appearing on the nationally syndicated “On-Air with Ryan Seacrest,” working at 102.7 KIIS-FM and with the iHeartRadio podcast team, and performing live in venues around the LA-area.
In part one of this two-part episode, we discuss the challenges of chasing a childhood dream and why it’s crucial to believe in yourself when no one else will. We talk about the importance of creating opportunities instead of waiting for them, ignoring other people’s opinions and limiting beliefs, and making empowered decisions that support your goals and long-term vision. We give advice on investing in your future and confronting the fears that come with following a lifelong dream. Emily shares what it was like to move to LA without a plan and how she held the faith when fear and doubt crept in. We also discuss the reckoning you face when you achieve your dream and it’s not everything you thought it would be.

“I really try to make [tarot readings] as anchoring and grounding as possible. This is a healing experience; it’s not meant to make you fearful or anxious. If a reader’s making you feel that way, they’re doing it wrong.” Tarot reader, psychic and author of “The Inner Tarot: A Modern Approach to Self-Compassion and Empowered Healing Using the Tarot” Kate Van Horn joins the show to discuss how the tarot can support your healing journey and transform your life.
As a trauma survivor, Kate credits her intuitive gifts and psychic abilities to finding light in periods of shadow. She candidly shares her story overcoming sexual abuse, PTSD, and eating disorders in the hope of inspiring others to radically accept their stories, their bodies and their gifts. Kate, who has been featured in Well + Good, Prevention, mindbodygreen, and many other popular publications and podcasts in the health and wellness space, believes tarot, channeled writing, and intuitive movement can serve as important tools for self-transformation and stand as a beautiful compliment to holistic healing.
In this episode, Kate shares her experience using tarot as a healing tool after her PTSD diagnosis, which eventually led her to become an intuitive healer and psychic reader. We talk about cultivating a relationship with the cards and deciphering their meaning when you’re a beginner tarot reader, as well as the importance of re-parenting ourselves and using the cards as a way to connect with your inner child. Kate gives tips on how to read your own cards and the best questions to ask the deck. We also discuss the origin of tarot, debunk popular superstitions and review each suit (pentacles, cups, swords and wands) and their meanings. Kate shares about her writing process and what the book means to her both professionally and personally. We also discuss astrology, human design and letting go of the pressure to discover your passion and purpose.

“Love is only one of the criteria of a man choosing you to be ‘the one.’ Love does not conquer all. You can love each other to death, but it doesn't mean you’ll have a relationship that goes the distance.” Author and dating and relationship coach Paula Grooms joins the show to discuss what men need in a relationship in order to commit.
Paula is a dating and relationship coach, licensed social worker and author of the book, “Why Won’t He Commit? How a Man Decides to Make You ‘The One.’” Using her individualized coaching approach, Paula shows women how to improve their self-concept and override subconscious limiting beliefs through manifestation methods and behavioral change. Paula’s tried-and-true strategies help women all over the world to receive the love, attention and commitment from the men they desire and deserve.
In this episode, we discuss the difficulties of modern dating and how to navigate dating online and on the apps. We talk about the benefits of working with a dating coach like Paula, who can offer an objective perspective and advice, including tips to avoid common dating mistakes and playing games. Paula shares “the two things a man needs above all” to commit to a woman and explains two core concepts in her book: The Puppy Principle (why a guy won’t commit) and Consumers Vs. Buyers (the differences between a guy who’s just using you and a guy who’s interested in a committed relationship). Paula also shares “the number one red flag” in a dating relationship and the importance of healing our inner child in order to have a healthy relationship with our partner.
